@sideeye What about a vacation? I enjoy vacation planning almost as much as vacations themselves.

On it - two weeks in March. Most of the tabs on my computer are excursions and hotels.

Might be too far away, might need to schedule one next month.

Aaaaargh!

Wait, wait ... something we are not polar opposites on? :P

Meanwhile, I literally threw out my 15 year old kimono the day before you got yours. I don’t know what that means, but it’s weird.

This is a significant factor in my “how to alleviate boredom” outlook. Plan trip, maybe book other trip, lure in paramours.

I just missed a sale to Forteleza, pissed.

Anyways, I don't know what did it or why it is exactly but restriction is back in effect!!!!!!

@Orchids&Dragons I have been waiting longer between eating and drinking like I said I would try, but also no straws again, no sliders, not eating past my very very subtle done signal,, no Protein Cookies, IF...

just plain luck???

IDK, but I'll take it

I just booked our 11 day cruise for December 2019 to Celebrate our 35th anniversary. I LOVE planning shore excursions, reading about ports (this time Cartagena, Curacao, Aruba, Bonaire, Grand Cayman) and it drives my husband over the edge. I do a spread sheet for our wardrobes (including shoes, bags and accessories) and he is not allowed to take Harley Tshirts anything without my approval. I really enjoy it and can't wait already.

I agree, exciting!

Do you embark in Cartagena? If so, get there early and spend some time! I loved it there!

No we embark in Fort Lauderdale and have 2 sea days (sigh...) before Cartagena and only there for the day. We do have an overnight in Aruba so looking forward to planning that since we have never been there. Mr. is going to recertify in scuba so he can dive in Bonaire but you could not pay me to go that far under Water.

At this point, I actually like less port intensive itineraries because we have so much fun hanging out on the ship and relaxing.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
